How to grow Winter squash 'Golden delicious'

A soil ph of between 6.1 and 7.5 is ideal for Golden delicious as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.
Growing Golden delicious from seed
Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.28 feet (70.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.
Transplanting Golden delicious
